Pakubuwono X (also transliterated Pakubuwana X, sometimes abbreviated PB X;[1] Surakarta, 29 November 1866 – Surakarta, 22 February 1939) was, despite his regnal name, the ninth Susuhunan (Monarch) of Surakarta. He reigned from the 1893 to 1939, making him the longest reigning Sunan in the history of Surakarta.

He officially succeeded his father, the eighth Sunan, as monarch two weeks after his father died on March 30, 1893.

He was designated a National Hero of Indonesia for his role in the independence movement.[2]
